#i also made a hair accessory

[writinginthesecrettrees]

There is exactly zero photographic evidence of the dress I made for my senior ball back in 2001, and honestly I'm kinda grateful for that.

It was a choice. I had a very distinct vision, and I did not execute it well, but I did come up with something wearable and all the "this is homemade by a person who has taken exactly one home ec course" weirdness was hidden.

It was a floor length princess-seamed yellow satin gown.

Yes, yellow. Like.

Sparkly golden yellow.

(like that gif? The fabric I got was exactly that color.)

Now. A yellow gown is not a bad thing. It was a very pretty color. But there were some odd choices made.

Ok, so first of all I had been struggling for 4 years to find formal gowns for various dances that I could wear a bra with. Because hello double Ds in freshman year, I was BUSTY. Strapless bras did not work for me (although I find myself wondering if bra tech has advanced since then). So what was my solution? I said "fuck it, I'm sewing a bra into this dress." And I did.

It worked really well, but then I had old tatty bra straps sticking out of my pretty satin dress.

So... trim to the rescue!

What did I use for trim? I'm so glad you asked.

I used a black feather boa for trim.

I whipstitched it all along the neckline, and made it into straps. Fluffy black feathers. On my pretty yellow dress. One like this:

Just so you have an idea.

And then. I put one around the hem, too. For balance. Look, I don't have a sane explanation, I just really liked the color combo for some reason. It was 2001, I lived in wide-leg overalls with pockets big enough to fit several paperbacks, my fashion sense was non-existent.

I paired this dress with black suede pumps and black satin opera gloves, by the way.

Because of course I did.

Um. I don't know if I've really painted the right picture here.

You gotta picture Kate Hudson's "How To Lose A Guy" dress

But like... cheaper fabric, poorly tailored, and trimmed with BLACK MARABOU FEATHER BOAS. I cannot emphasize that enough.

I think Lae'zel would really enjoy having her nails painted. she wears warrior makeup all over her face and neck, she has those lovely little braids, she took the time to bead her hair. i think she likes having a little bit of polish to her look

love the spoketech hug/g

spoke has somehow managed to remind minz that he did what he had to to protect spoke and planet tho and theyve been fairly happy and affectionate together/pos/info

meanwhile my crackship us uu!rosplin because listen, my leader might be a martyr but he is cute while he sacrifices himself for us haha/very pos

this isnt a request im just rambling at you haha/clarification

btw do you have names for the species you draw anyone as?

-🔍🏰(f:🦜✨)

that's great! don't worry, i don't mind people rambling in my inbox, i ramble a lot myself, so i get wanting to share something with someone. <3 about species, no, not really. most of the species i make my designs are either based on my own oc lore, or just straight up species from it. (like with spoke) sometimes i just take the inspo from how i write the certain species in my own lore. like with parrot, egg and ro. (i draw ro and egg both as angels, if it wasn't clear. parrot is an avian.) i'm only in the early process of writing it all, so i don't really have actual names for species, and it's not like they're some original species, they're mostly just something i make up on the spot or my interpritations. (my sona is also a species from my oc lore, btw)
